Asian Ghost House inside Manila Ocean Park, Manila City.

Manila Ocean Park in the City of Manila is a theme park consisting of the
Oceanarium, Trails to Antarctica (where penguins feel at home), dancing
fountain, Jellies Exhibit and a lot more. It is located just one block from
Rizal Park (Or Luneta Park) and facing Quirino Grandstand. If you are on a tour
to the different Manila heritage sites like Intramuros and National Museum, you
might as well want to include Manila Ocean Park on your list. Just recently to
attract more tourists, with Indochina Strings Philippines, they added “Asian
Ghost House”, a mini-horror house in tune of Halloween this month of October.

Part 1 of Nights in Manila

Oceanarium and Hotel H2O inside Manila Ocean Park

Our Manila day tour was very quick. A typical
tourists-in-a-tourist-bus-with-a-tour-guide-inside scene that is. The bus
driver was so fast that by the time the tour guide said “look to your left
side, that is the Quirino Grandstand blah-blah” the grandstand was already at
the rear side of the bus! Sounds funny right. I didn’t get the chance to take
good photos, as most of them got blurred. Maybe next time, when I get the
chance to do my own walk tour in Manila.

And so we spent the nights walking along the corners of Manila. For me, I
would not recommend travelers or tourists to do what we just did—to tour Manila
at night. I’ll be posting a separate post about this. I don’t think it would be
creepier to visit Asian Ghost House in Manila Ocean Park than walking the
length of Roxas Boulevard in the middle of the night alone. Creepier isn’t it?

Manila Ocean Park

From our hotel, we took a cab to directly bring us to the entrance gate of
Manila Ocean Park. It was supposed to be just P60 (our hotel is located in
Malate, Manila), but we paid P100. I don’t know if taxi drivers in Manila do
not know how to give the change or if it is just a norm. Honestly in my entire
years living in Baguio, this had not yet happened to me. I find taxi drivers in
Baguio honest to the last centavo, but in Manila, hmmm I do not know.

And so we went inside Manila Ocean Park. We bought our tickets for P350,
inclusive of a 5R souvenir photo. And when we saw the door that lets you go
inside the Ghost House, it’s now time to back out! Oh not really. The guide
there told us that the maximum number of people to get inside the ghost house
is four (not bad). And since we cannot just back out or else we lose our P350,
we got inside it.

I cannot tell all the things that I had experienced inside this Asian
Ghost House. It’s for you to know too, but I’ll hint some things like “scream”,
“run” and “shock”. They got those nice effects and good actors. We really felt
the ambiance of a ghost house. But it’s “bitin”. Or maybe because we ran so
fast and thought it was short haha.But if you were to ask me among horror
houses inside Star City, Enchanted Kingdom and Manila Ocean Park, so far the
most exciting and terrifying among them all is the one inside Manila Ocean Park
and that is the Asian Ghost House.

Asian Ghost House

The Asian Ghost House inside Manila Ocean Park is open from Thursday to
Saturday in the month of October 2012 from 7PM to 2AM. If you got time to
frighten yourself for a while, bring your friends and experience this ghost
house in Manila Ocean Park in the City of Manila.

Dear Traveler,Good day, magandang araw, bon jour. I know you want to travel to the Philippines. Do you prefer cool winds in Baguio or beaches in Western Pangasinan? Or somewhere in Luzon like Subic-Clark-Tarlac? Or right away in Manila? Cebu in Central Philippines is also a good choice.
